1963 Chevrolet Corvette L84 fuelie split-window coupe, a numbers-matching one-year car
Rare fuelie split-window priced at market. It's here for rarity, not a discount, so documentation decides it.
1963 Chevrolet Corvette
Rare The 1963 split-window coupe was a one-year design, and the 360 hp L84 fuel-injected engine was the top option that year, so a fuelie split coupe is one of the rarest regular-production C2s.
Why we picked it
We picked this one for rarity. It is a 1963 split-window coupe with the L84 327 rated at 360 hp on Rochester mechanical fuel injection and a Muncie 4-speed, finished in Daytona Blue over dark blue. The seller says the engine is numbers-matching and that the car had a three-year rotisserie restoration.
At $220,484 it is close to the $214,500 a comparable fuelie split brought at Mecum in September. That is not a bargain. But genuine fuelie splits seldom come up for sale, and one with a fresh restoration is worth a look for a buyer who wants the real thing.
The value check
The seller is asking $224,985. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $214,500, so the middle of the market is about $214,500.
The closest recent sale is a 1963 L84 fuelie split-window coupe that sold at Mecum for $214,500 in September 2026. A split-window later converted to fuel injection sold for $146,590, and carbureted L75 splits sold for $134,000-$143,000, so a genuine fuelie carries a big premium. This one is priced at the market, not under it.

What to check
- Fuel-injection conversions are common on 1963 cars. Verify the engine pad stamp, block casting and date codes, and confirm the original fuel-injection unit, before trusting the L84 claim.
- The listing mentions no NCRS judging, tank sticker or other build paperwork. Ask for all of it, plus restoration receipts and photos.
- Have a C2 specialist check the birdcage (windshield frame and rocker steel) for rust, and the frame for old repairs.
- The 424 miles is listed as true miles unknown, so treat it as miles since restoration.
- Title status is not stated. Confirm a clean title that matches the VIN, 30837S110703.
